[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Ok racism is pointed out over and over again. What is the solution to it? Is there one? [/quote]

not in this country, as there are too many "cultures"

Africans who enter the US are anchored to a culture and will self-segregate.

Black (as in American black) is its own culture, I've been told.  Blacks can use nigger amongst each other, as it's a term of endearment.  Yes, you'll get blacks - older blacks who were instrumental in civil rights who abhor the term.  But it's still acceptable.  There's a culture of black poverty, which is where the whole "thug life" image comes into play.  And you have the blacks who have "made it" who want nothing to do with the other group.

But this can be true of all races/cultures.  Immigrants coming over, anchored to their cultures, will self-segregate, and rich and poor will rarely mingle.

But b/c black culture is suffering the effects of slavery - now institutionalized - this oppressive atmosphere is hard to shatter.

I read an article on Canadian blacks where blacks didn't associate with "black" - but  they did identify with their culture. So they labeled themselves as French-Canadian, for example.

bottom line - This country is a fucking mess.  And groups become monolithic when it benefits them.

But I wonder just how many people - educated and "enlightened" folks of all races - would be welcoming to Brown.

b/c it's not just about his death
It's about his support system that lead him to this tragic ending.  But if you're surrounded by poverty and ignorance and attend low-performing schools with weak teachers, what chance do you have of moving forward in the right direction?

You just took a little bit if this, a little bit of that, took it all out of context to come up with some half asked conclusion of nothing.
You could have just save your typing finger and just said 'too many fucked up different cultures/colors"
Just as dumb ass , but a shorter read.[/quote]
